<p>Are you guys entering the grades you think you will get for Fall in your application, or just waiting until actual grades come out? I already know what I’m going to get, so I’m wondering if it’s ok to just put them in for my submission in November? Would the UC’s have any problem with this? I can always adjust them in the January update, right?</p>
<p>You’re supposed to put IP. Don’t guess on a grade that hasn’t officially been posted. Big no-no. </p>
<p>Lindy, do you know if it’s not accepted? Just curious now, but yes, I will put IP to be safe. But now I’m curious.</p>
<p>I think what I’m really curious about is, they don’t even look at it until after the update right? or did I misunderstand that?</p>
<p>I’m leaving them IP since my semester won’t be over when I submit.</p>
<p>They might not look at it until after the January update but you have no idea what goes on in their backend records. Maybe a computer keeps logs of the grades you entered when you submit the application. If you put in a grade and you end up switching later it might raise some red flags. Either way, I do recall the application explicitly telling you not to predict your grade.</p>
<p>if you’re a gambling man, do whatever you want. </p>
<p>@fullload </p>
<p>There’s no reason to put the grade you <em>think</em> you’ll get, because you could be wrong. Even if you do get the grades you predicted, the UC admissions officers may see on their end that you inputted these grades before you could possibly have received them.</p>
<p>Frankly, if I were one of those admissions officers, I’d reject the application of someone who did that out of hand and convince my fellow admissions officers to do the same. I doubt they’d need much convincing.</p>
<p>There’s literally no advantage to taking this course of action with your application. Just saying.</p>
<p>Lol, at convincing your fellow officers to reject an applicant. But whatever. I already said I’m going to put it down IP.</p>
<p>@fullload </p>
<p>Why not? That’s basically part of what admissions officers do: come to a consensus as to whether an applicant should be accepted or not.</p>
<p>But you made a wise decision in list the grades as “IP.”</p>
<p>I understand that, but gathering around to hear one guy trying to convince everyone to decline an applicant because he entered grades early…is hilarious.</p>
<p>He would be the one guy on the team we all made fun of when he wasn’t around.</p>
<p>You really don’t seem to understand the process. They make notes on the app, and a note by one person indicating that applicant has misrepresented grades in Sept (I assume this is TAP because that is what you have been working on) could certainly lead to a negative consensus. It shows a certain arrogance or disdain for their rules.</p>
<p>We don’t know what goes on there, but you’re naive if you don’t think one person could make an assessment fatal to the applicant - and in this case it would be based on misrepresentation, because for better or worse, that is what it would be at the time the app was submitted, whether in Sept or Nov. Frankly, I think it’s odd it would even enter your head to put in a series of grades you don’t have yet, and based on, what? - three weeks of classes? I don’t think you meant it badly, but you’re not putting yourself in the other person’s shoes. </p>
<p>@fullload </p>
<p>Speak for yourself.</p>
<p>Considering that admissions officers take their jobs very seriously, they wouldn’t take very kindly to students inputting grades that they hadn’t actually earned yet. That would be an attempt at duplicity.</p>
<p>No admissions officer, especially at a selective school such as UCLA, would want to admit that a dishonest applicant. That <em>should</em> go without saying and it’s outright stated in the UC application form that one must not “predict” the grades one will receive.</p>
<p>Appreciate the advice guys. Thanks. :)</p>
<p>Hello fellow UCLA transfer applicants!
I’m not sure how these threads work, but I’ll put my stats. </p>
<p>GPA: 4.0
Major: Statistics
IGETC will be completed by spring semester, as will be my lower division reqs. </p>
<p>My execs have ranged from president of an LGBT club, shift manager at subway, paid and volunteer tutoring, library volunteering, freelance translation, constant contributor to several websites, primary caretaker of grandmother during her bout with breast cancer, member of mental health destigmitization group “Active Minds”, and volunteer at VA hospital. </p>
<p>My ps was about my mental disorder and how I’m trying to learn to manage it now that I’ve been diagnosed. </p>
<p>That’s ridiculous. Many semester schools offer six and eight week courses, so while the semester might not be over, you would already have your grade. And no, the transcripts would not say whether this was a six or eight week course, and, they wouldn’t have the transcripts yet anyway. Just saying… not advocating this course of action.</p>

<p>You’re a very, very strong candidate for admission at UCLA!</p>
<p>@lejourfatal, you’ve got a great chance (obviously)! </p>
<p>Hello all,
I just want to ask about the maximum number of completed units in CC to transfer to UC (especially UCLA).
According to this: <a href=“https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/FAQ/TR_Before.htm”>https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/FAQ/TR_Before.htm</a> , </p>
<p>"Q: WHAT IS THE HIGHEST (OR LOWEST) NUMBER OF UNITS I CAN TRANSFER TO UCLA?</p>
<p>A: When students transfer to UCLA, they must be at junior level. That means a student must have at least 90 quarter (60 semester) and no more than 129 quarter (86 semester)* units.</p>
<p>*Students transferring to UCLA from 2-year colleges get a maximum of 105 quarter units applied to their degrees. Therefore, a 2-year college transfer with more than 129/86 units will still be considered a junior."</p>
<p>I have made my plan for what classes will I take for the next quarters in my CC and apparently I will complete 134 units (89.33) on Spring 2015. Does it mean UCLA will not consider my application as a transfer student because of the excess of the units?
I have also read somewhere that UCB (and some other UCs) also have 135 as the limit (so close! but it doesn’t include non-transferable units that I acquired from leader training classes). Does units that is not transferable also counts toward the limit?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>@Flyer888 </p>
<p>You only have to worry about that upper limit if you have any units from a 4-year school. Do you? If not, you’re fine.</p>
<p>@Cayton </p>
<p>No I don’t, the only units that I have received in US comes from the 2-year CC (I attend high-school outside the US).
How about this PDF that I found a while ago:
<a href=“University of California Counselors”>University of California Counselors;
Does it also only apply for units from 4-year school like you said?
Dang, even UCLA is the only one that said “NO” to admit high-unit juniors :(( </p>
<p>@Flyer888 </p>
<p>Don’t worry about that. For those who’ve only gone to community college, such as yourself, that limit doesn’t apply. You can have 5,000 units from a community college and they won’t count all of them as long as you didn’t go to a 4-year school.</p>
<p>You’re completely fine.</p>
